Canada's national guidelines for whole-building life cycle assessment.  This document provides comprehensive instruction for the practice of life cycle assessment applied to buildings, based on relevant standards and keyed to various intentions. The goal is to harmonize the practice of whole-building life cycle assessment (wbLCA) across different studies and assist in interpretation of and compliance with relevant standards. This resource can support the development of similar guideline policies in North America and internationally.
